21. ELON MUSK
You don’t have to be a geek to know who Elon Musk is. The man is one of the most promising business magnates at the time and it seems that he’s only just started. Musk is the founder of SpaceX, the co-founder of PayPal, Tesla Motors and Zip2.
Just by looking at these companies it is clear how powerful he is. Musk is also a visionary whose ideas about a Hyperloop transportation system and supersonic jets with electronic fan propulsion seem like perfect solutions to many of the world’s current issues. The Canadian-American magnate was born in Pretoria, South Africa to a model mother and an electromechanical engineer father.
Musk was bullied throughout his childhood in South Africa and moved to Canada, after obtaining Canadian citizenship through his mother, in order to avoid South African military service, which is obligatory. It was in Canada and later in America that his talents became visible and his rise to brilliance finally started.
